 Do
you think 5-year-old children are too young to invent something? Well, think
again. Recently, a 5-year-old boy
in England invented a very cool broom! The boy’s name is
Sam Houghton. Sam is the youngest inventor in England! He invented
a new type of broom that has two brushes.
So, why did he decide to make the new broom?
One day, he saw his dad sweeping up garden leaves. He was using two
different brooms -- one to clear up larger leaves and
twigs, the other to catch
finer debris.
Sam wanted to save his dad the trouble
of switching. So he tied the two brooms together
with a large rubber band.
The result was the improved broom which can
be flipped around for different
jobs! The broom works by having a thicker brush at the front
to pick up large objects and
a finer brush at the back.
Isn’t he amazing? He sure is a great young inventor! But Sam said,
“I don’t know if I want to be an inventor when I grow up, but this
was fun,”Well, let’s just wait and see! |
